Park Seed Marathon Mix Tulip Bulbs

It means the bulbs are specifically curated to bloom at different times throughout the spring. By combining early, mid, and late-season varieties, you get a continuous succession of color rather than a single, short-lived burst of flowers.

These tulips perform beautifully in both garden beds and containers. Just ensure your pots have excellent drainage, as tulips are susceptible to rot if they sit in waterlogged soil.

For best results, plant the bulbs 8 inches deep. This depth helps protect them from temperature fluctuations and encourages strong, stable root development.

These bulbs are hardy in zones 3 through 8. If you live in a region with extremely harsh winters or very hot, humid summers, you may need to treat them as annuals or provide extra winter mulch.

No, this specific mix was selected for strong stems. They are bred to stand upright and hold their blooms well, even in windy conditions, making them reliable for both garden borders and cut flower arrangements.

They thrive in full sun to part shade. While they will bloom in partial shade, you will get the most vibrant colors and the strongest stems if you provide them with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
